### Project Management is Highly Coupled with Organization's Environment

Organizations are structured into one of 6 models. Project management in them are very different:

1. _Functional Organizations_ (Classical): Functional organizations do complete projects, but these projects are
specific to the function of the department the project falls into. For example, the TI Department could implement new
software for the Finance Department. The role of the TI Department is separate from the Finance Department, but the
coordination between the two functional departments would be evident. Communication between departments flows through
functional managers down to the project team. Figure 2-4 depicts the relationship between business departments and the
flow of communication between projects and departments. Project managers in functional organizations have the
following attributes:

- Little power Little autonomy
- Report directly to a functional manager
- The project manager may be known as a Project Coordinator or Team Leader
- The project manager's role is part-time
- The project team is part-time
- The project manager may have little or no administrative staff to expedite the project management activities
